I am the They/Them your parents warned you about

Like. That's such a Vimes way of looking at things. And much like him, she doesn't let her cynicism stop her from doing her job, she uses it as fuel. She doesn't have the same ties to Ankh-Morpork that Vimes does, but she's fiercely loyal to Carrot, who effectively *is* the city.

And the bit at the end of men at arms where Carrot himself explains to Vetinari why it shouldn't be him commanding the watch - people should follow orders because they're given by a commanding officer, not because they're given by Carrot. Angua doesn't have that charisma that makes people like her and do what she says; she just has intelligence and willpower and a good, disillusioned understanding of how people work. Not to mention all the thematic parallels we see between her and vimes and their struggles with restraining their inner beast (literal or metaphorical).

Idk, it seems such an obvious choice to me. I think if Vimes ever managed to actually retire, the only person in whose hands (paws?) he'd be comfortable leaving the watch would be her.

No access info for any of the venues

Box office is inaccessible

Google “[festival name] accessibility”; get info on their “accessible pricing” (pay £1 less if you want to). No mention of free tickets for essential carers

Do a lot of disability detective work; most venues don’t have wheelchair access

One claims to be accessible, look inside: “we’re an accessible venue. There are three steps to get in, but we can help you with those”.

“Everybody welcome*”

Da Vinci stepped into a realm of anatomy and technique that no-one had ever done before. He Mastered light in a time where they were just painting the background and the subject the exact same focus.

What we understand about aperture, perspective, the human eye- Da Vinci was utilising before the scientific community even knew what a retina did. Do you understand how Crazy that is.

He invented a 3D stereoscopic picture in the 1500s. It would take two more centuries before physicists even arrived at the concept of stereography.

Do you understand how much math that is. A lot of fucking math man.

And I'm not even talking about colour or texture rn!!! He did it so we can't see the brushstrokes! It would require x-rays to view the work he did.

I just know sometimes people go oh why's this painting so special- it's very important to me that you know that the Mona Lisa was like an Atomic Bomb on the Renaissance art community. Almost EVERY piece of art you view today you could track it's influence back to what da Vinci did.

I am so glad you asked!
